Well as long as the hamster is alone it should be fine. I think.

Yeah...don't let any hamsters breed or the dad will basically try to eat the babies. *shudders* Luckily, I've never personally witnessed this. I've only heard of it happening to other people.

I've only ever had one hamster at a time; my current hamster is an odd fellow but he's getting old now. I've always wanted a bigger pet by my mum's always been against it

I mean, guinea pigs are basically bigger hamsters, except they purr like cats and can get just as excited as a dog about certain things. I think they're the perfect in-betweener pets.Baconhands said:

Like, when they get excited, instead of barking and whatnot, they run around and squeak loudly. It's adorable.

Trust me, I've tried convincing her to get a guinea pig and the answer's been no every time

That sucks. :/ They're some of the cleanest pets I know, too. They rarely smell unless you don't clean their cage every other day or even everyday.Baconhands said:

The silver lining is that my friend has 2 dogs, 2 cats and 3 kittens and only lives 20 minutes from me.Lioness075 said:

you must have had a very rare breed of guinea pig there Lion. I had two growing up, smelled so bad we had to keep them out in the garage. And that was even when we cleaned their cage every other day.Lioness075 said:

hamsters are evil. If you don't love on them and play with them every day, they start to bite at you when you go to handle them. Nasty little teeth. Luckily they don't live super longBaconhands said:

I've never picked up Loki (current hamster). I managed to teach him very very basic maths. So if I say to him what's 1+1 he'll put both of his front paws on the side of the cagezCrookedz said:hamsters are evil.

...I think it's the other way around, Crooked lol. Guinea pigs are known for being some of the cleanest pets around. They groom themselves like cats, too.zCrookedz said:

Not joking at all: hamster chocolates are a good way to train them, just reward them when they do the right thingzCrookedz said:

Wait, what gender were they? Mine were females so we had no problems with them. Maybe it's a gender-specific thing?zCrookedz said:

one was a female, the other was male. If I remember correctly it was the male who usually smelled the worst. Probably a gender thing.Lioness075 said:

Don't we all when we have pets? I was always talking to my guinea pigs and telling them how my day went. They actually would squeak back at me sometimes. xDBaconhands said:

Loki barely pays any attention to me when I talk to him. He doesn't respond eitherLioness075 said:

Aww, well, it's the thought that counts. I'm sure he's still cute despite his lack of attention.Baconhands said:

bi dog just looks at me with his big ol' eyes and does that little head tilt that pugs do. Not much talking on his part unless he wants to go outside. Cats are even less interested.Lioness075 said:

I love cats. If you raise them right then they won't turn out to be so grumpy and boring like some cats do. I also know that if you neuter them when they're a kitten, then you better help them keep a fun personality. Neutering a pet at an older age can actually alter their personality and make them more likely to bite/scratch and be grumpy about stuff.zCrookedz said:

On the subject of hamster, my best friend once had two. One died for some unknown reason, and the other one tried to eat its body.
On the subject of talking to pets, I have a half-Husky dog, so we have conversations all the time. Very intellectual.
